Do i need to root my phone ?

Dears,

I was using Maps Brut V4 since long time. And now i have a new phone and i hope not to root my device.

Is there anyway to install Google Maps ownhere without rooting.

Thanks,

Sherif

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

cant get navigation to work offline :o any help ?
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
navigation, by default, needs data connection.

You can start your navigation while you are online, and as long as you do not deviate, it'll get you to where you want, without data connection. But if you make a mistake on the route it'll need to re-calculate, and then it needs data connection.

What you can also do, is enable labs, and pre-cache maps, sometimes it helps for offline navigation (only for re-calculate route), but not always.
[Android Apps and Games] rickryu:
yey... thanks for this...

really like this app... :)
[Android Apps and Games] salisbury_steak:
If you really need offline navigation, use Locus Maps instead. There's an add-on that allows you to download G maps. It's the most awesome map app I've used so far.
[Android Apps and Games] EnDSK:
Sorry for being a noob here but this is what I did :

Uninstalled maps from titanium backup

Wiped data and uninstalled street view

Renamed the attached file to Maps.apk and placed it in the system/app folder.

Now my phone does not have maps nor does it have navigation and when I try to install the street view apk or the maps apk neither work. Please help. Using ICS.

Did you change the permission to rw.r.r in root eksplorer?.
[Android Apps and Games] draglord:
i have a problem installing this app on android emulator

i was able to root the emulator

i installed titanium, made backup of gmaps, wiped the data, uninstalled it

same with streetview

when i try to install this modified maps, it says

"install failed update incompatible"

do i have to resign it?

or is it some other problem?
[Android Apps and Games] EnDSK:
Yes I did. I'm using ES File Explorer

Hi all...

I have a problem with the version 6.5.1 of Google Maps:

I can't using the compass, and so, I can't see the correct orientation of the maps... The problem persist with all v6.x versions...the v5.x versions are perfect...

The compass of my phone work correctly with the app GPS Status...so,the problem is with Maps application...

Any idea?!

I have a Lg Optimus Black with Huexxx's ROM Zeus v6O...

Sorry for my ignorance I had looked at the brut mod along time ago and need some updating. I live in NA so navigation was available to me in the stock app. I just wanted something that would work offline with precached maps. I tried doing this but was never really succesful at downloading the maps and getting the brut mod to recognize them. Is this mod still useful for this purpose navigation in say one city where you have no data and just a precached map?

6.6.0 is out.....

What a big troll from Google.....
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
He he nicely don google .
[Android Apps and Games] Justray:
It's a problem with your rom, happens to optimus black and optimus 2X with roms other than stock (vanilla) or CM7 (newer), I highly recommend you to use CM7 temasek kangs, they rock!!! and have the compass fix for GMAPS. If you don't like it roll back and ask Huexxx (if thats the guy that made your rom) to include the compass fix (if his rom is CM7 based, if its stock based then I have no idea how to fix it, but maybe he can).

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

2 Scale bar and zoom buttons graduate from Labs into Settings

Download Zipsigner from market (Google Play) and resing the app, that will do it :)

However, I just realized this is not the latest version. The latest version should have elevation data.
[Android Apps and Games] Pharaohnough:
The latest version is 6.6 and that was only released by Google last night so we still need to wait for the patched version

So should we stop working with hboot, spl, wince, windows mobile, closed source drivers and a lot of more stuff which requires reverse engineering or mods just because these corporations couldn't do their jobs so well ? (Not blaming google right now), they need to understand to let such hacking go on when no-one here is doing it for any profit, defaming the company or any other things they should really worry about. And google being such a huge internet company should have known by now that no matter how many cease and desist notices they send, some one, somewhere will always pop-up against 'their' partiality to users on basis of their origin. It is understandable that certain copyrighted items which are not owned by google but on sale through their channel require legal framework, but what has navigation got to do with it ? Isn't most of it available in the directions feature of google map ? then why make it exclusive to first world countries ?
